Got my new Stanton Switchback next gen frame all built up and now 2 rides in. The quality of the frame is superb, and initial impression out on trail are very good.

Lovely.

I'm on my third Switchback now (steel Mk I, Ti Mk I which was stolen). Now on a Mk II Ti...liked them all so far. The longer version is good and an improvement on the earlier ones. Enjoy.

Doesn't the MK2 have internal routing for dropper? Whats the weight like? Am always toying with getting one over my Foxy but feel the weight of a HT over probably the same weight for a full sus would make it an odd move.

If they did some sort of finance options I'd be hitting the button on a Ti rolling chassis

That bike is ferrous sex. Not rusty sex (that's a different genre). Just ferrous sex.

Haha @dannyh. It's a Mudhugger guard molgrips. The frame is stealth post compatible but I had the external routed post from my Solaris to fit. Thanks for the remarks guys.

Get the Ti version then ๐Ÿ˜†

I bought a steel Switchback as a second bike because I started riding my little Slackline a lot on trail rather than just jumps etc. In the end, I was taking the Switchback every time so sold my Banshe Rune to buy the Ti version.

Stanton towers were looking into finance, not sure where they are at.
